My tuner told me that 130 deg C is getting too hot for an old style block vs modern engines. Something definitely seemed odd to me when it normally runs in 80’s.
The air box was too hot to touch after an easy run around town and the collector blistered the body paint. I guess bottom line is that it is much hotter than normal (normal being before this tune which has a more retarded Cam and much more timing advance (side note it didn’t like anything less than 60 deg adv)).
Anyway turns out the 20 amp thermo fan fuse was under sized (should have been 30amp) and it was tripping. All sorted now and engine runs mid 80’s-92 deg C
